The reason the Hook and Lateral goes so well im late game situations is because the defense is in prevent.the guys get all day to throw back without someone hittingthem

They would fumble most of the time against a normal defense

And if you don't have a solid offensive line, God help you.

that means that they aren't man to man situations and have safeties back to tackle the crosser. IF you use it in "trick times" when safeties up closer to L.O.S... dude the crosser could have nothing but daylight if his man slacks off at first.

Yeah...the defender is about 10 yards off of him...so the successful ones, the receiver has time to catch, plant, look around, and pitch.

Try doing that in normal coverage.
